As a child, Washington State head football coach Mike Leach had a fascination with American history and more specifically, Native Americans. As a kid, on his first trip to the library with his mother, the NY Times Bestselling Author selected a book on Geronimo. His mother ended up reading the entire book to him.
Earlier this year, Coach Leach released a book, with historian and journalist Buddy Levy, on the Apache warrior titled Geronimo: Leadership Strategies of an American Warrior. The book is full lessons on goal achievement and leadership. With 2015 upon us, Geronimo makes a good book to start the New Year with.

It is possible you would never have heard the names Randy Couture, Chuck Lidell, Ken Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, Dan Severn or Royce Gracie, along with so many others, if it were not for Art Davie.

For years, the entrepreneur imagined putting on a tournament of the best fighters in the world, bringing together men of all backgrounds from a variety of martial arts traditions including boxing and even sumo wrestling.
By becoming a student at the school of the legendary Brazilian jiu-jitsu family, the Gracies, and befriending them, Art was able to convince them that his notion of a best of the best fighters tournament would put their fighting style on the map.
Everything came together on November 12th, 1993, in Denver, Colorado, when the first UFC was held. This coming weekend, 21 years after it all began, Mr. Davie will be inducted into the Legends of MMA Hall of Fame in Reno, Nevada.

In mid July, NY Times bestselling author Ed Klein’s latest Clinton themed book entitled Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas rose to the top of the NY Times Bestsellers List, overtaking Hillary Clinton’s memoir, Hard Choices.

In 2011 we brought you a CYInterview with Peter Schweizer [see here]. His appearance on 60 Minutes, that year, led to Congressional legislation, resulting in the passage of The Stock Act. His NY Times Bestselling book, Throw Them All Out, was the main focus point for both interviews.
Two years later, the Breitbart Editor-at-Large, President of the Government Accountability Institute and the William J Casey Fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University returned to 60 Minutes to continue exposing ways members of Congress are enriching themselves. His new book, also a NY Times Bestseller, is entitled Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets.
